Bosquejos y Bodegón: Sketches & Stilling Life w/ Dr. Chanti Tacoronte-Perez
Bosquejos y Bodegón: Sketches & Stilling Life
Listening Through Exploratory Drawing
Tuesday November 17, 2026
11-1 pm
What if drawing wasn't only about capturing what we see, but about entering into relationship with what we behold?
Together, we will slow down with a collection of handmade Oaxacan ceramic pots gathered at Living Threads Studio. In Spanish, “still life” translates to naturaleza muerta ("dead nature"), the word bodegón also evokes a storeroom—a place where vessels preserve memory, nourishment, and history. Through observational drawing, communal sketching, and depth psychological practices, we will imagine the lives these vessels have held and allow their quiet wisdom to unfold through the movement of our hands.
This workshop welcomes all levels of experience.
No drawing background is needed.
All materials are provided; simply bring your curiosity and willingness to create.
Space is limited.
RESERVE YOUR SPOT
This exploratory drawing workshop is open to everyone, especially those who are interested in:
Drawing as listening
Exploring the analog craft of drawing
Are curious about active imagination and depth psychology
Want to develop a slow observational practice
Seek beauty, community, and connection
Discovering an embodied way of knowing
Connecting or reconnecting with your innate creativity

The Voice & the Ancient Science of Sound How Sound Shapes Us Sing · Breathe · Listen
The Voice & the Ancient Science of Sound
How Sound Shapes Us
Sing · Breathe · Listen
Why does certain music calm us, focus us or move us? Thousands of years ago, Indian scholars set out to answer exactly that. Their work became one of the most detailed studies of sound in human history. They mapped where every sound is formed in the mouth and throat, how breath shapes the voice, and how vibration affects body and mind. It is the reason Sanskrit is built the way it is.
In this 2.5 to 3 hour workshop, Grammy-nominated vocalist Radhika Vekaria makes these ideas practical and accessible. Combining clear explanation with hands-on practice, she guides you through how the ancient traditions understood sound, and how you can use your own breath and voice today.
What we'll explore:
The science behind the sound: how ancient Indian systems studied vibration, voice and the body, and why their insights still matter
Why Sanskrit resonates: how the language is organized by where sounds are made, and what you feel when you sing it
Breath and voice: simple techniques to steady the nervous system, improve focus and use your voice with more ease
Deep listening: training the ear to notice pitch, tone and the drone of the tanpura
Singing together: short, easy melodies learned as a group.
You'll leave with a new understanding of sound, plus a few simple practices you can use in daily life.
Who it's for: Anyone curious about music, language, the voice or the mind. No musical experience needed, and nobody will be asked to sing alone.
What to bring: Water, a notebook, and comfortable clothing.
About Radhika: Radhika Vekaria is a 2025 Grammy®-nominated vocalist (Warriors of Light) and world music artist. With training in Western music, a classical Eastern vocal background and over two decades of studying Indian texts on sound, she performs and teaches across the US, UK and Spain.

(Doors Open at 6:30 PM)
From the Grammy®-nominated artist behind Warriors of Light, an intimate evening of song and story.
Radhika Vekaria draws on classical Indian vocal training and a lifelong connection to Indian musical traditions. She sings in Sanskrit, Tamil, Avadhi and English, accompanying herself on harmonium, piano and tanpura. Her music pairs centuries-old melodies and texts with a contemporary world-music sensibility, making it feel both rooted and fresh.
Through music, storytelling and moments of quiet reflection, you hear the voice as it really is: every breath, every ornament. It is a rare chance to experience this music up close, with an artist who is redefining how sacred music can be heard and felt today.
About Radhika: Radhika Vekaria is a 2025 Grammy®-nominated vocalist and world music artist. She performs internationally across the US, UK and Spain, and has appeared at the GRAMMY Museum, SXSW, Harvard and other prestigious venues around the world.

ANNUAL OAXACA POTTERY CELEBRATION & TALK
This spring, we returned to Oaxaca for our annual pottery buying trip, traveling from village to village in search of pieces that honor tradition while expanding the possibilities of clay.
This year's trip revealed an extraordinary range of innovation, artistry, and imagination flourishing in workshops across Oaxaca today.
The result is an incredibly dynamic collection that ranges from the deeply traditional to the wonderfully unexpected, featuring beloved makers and villages we return to year after year.
The day will begin with a talk by Eric, who will introduce the artisans, share stories from the journey, and offer a glimpse into how this year's collection came together.
DATE: Saturday, July 18
Talk with Eric
10:00–11:00 AM

Spend time with A Sacred Wrap, a collection of hand-dyed garments colored with natural dyes made from flowers gathered from temples in Mumbai, and view our recent pottery from Oaxaca, reflecting generations of knowledge, creativity, and tradition.
We'll have delicious treats, good company, and plenty of time for conversation. Teresa and Eric will be in the studio to share stories about the makers, materials, and traditions that continue to inspire their work.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another visit, we'd love to see you.
See you on Sunday!

From Temple Flowers to Cloth
From Temple Flowers to Cloth
A Sacred Wrap by Adiv Pure Nature
We are delighted to welcome A Sacred Wrap, a collection of hand-dyed silk garments created in collaboration with Adiv Pure Nature in Mumbai.
This week, the studio is filled with flowers, clay, and luminous silks naturally dyed from flowers once offered at Hindu temples. Alongside the collection, we are featuring a special selection from 11.11 which will include vibrant dresses in brilliant pinks, rich reds, mustard yellows, and, of course, their signature indigo.
A Sacred Wrap is rooted in intention, craftsmanship, and care. Handmade by artisans in Adiv's atelier, each garment is dyed using botanical pigments created from discarded temple flowers, transforming what would have become waste into enduring beauty.
We look forward to welcoming you!
About Adiv Pure Nature
Adiv Pure Nature is home to the Temple Dye Project and Temple Blessings textiles, a woman-owned social enterprise founded by Rupa Trivedi. For more than a decade, Adiv has collaborated with artisans across India to create naturally dyed textiles and garments while transforming discarded temple flowers into vibrant botanical dyes, supporting both environmental stewardship and traditional craft.

A Conversation with Rachna Sachasinh of Tikkiwallah
A Conversation with Rachna Sachasinh of Tikkiwallah
Wednesday, July 8
10:00–11:00 AM
We are delighted to welcome Rachna Sachasinh of Tikkiwallah to Living Threads.
We have worked with Rachna since 2022. She and Eric first met when she interviewed him for a National Geographic article on the pottery traditions of Coyotepec, Oaxaca. Eric later introduced Rachna to Teresa, and the two quickly became friends. Since then, they have enjoyed working together and share a deep appreciation for traditional craft, cultural resilience, and the stories behind handmade textiles.
Rachna's work focuses on the seed-to-cloth movement and on supporting artisan communities in Laos and Thailand. Through long-standing relationships with artisans, she helps sustain traditional textile knowledge while creating pathways for these practices to thrive into the future.
During this special morning, Eric and Rachna will sit down for a conversation exploring hemp and its significance within Hmong culture.
For the Hmong people, hemp is far more than a fiber - it is deeply woven into cultural identity, tradition, and spiritual life. From farm to loom, the process of transforming hemp from plant to cloth is long and labor-intensive. Yet Hmong communities across Southeast Asia have sustained this practice for thousands of years, creating textiles that are both beautiful and enduring.
Join us for a fascinating conversation and an opportunity to deepen our understanding of this remarkable textile tradition.
We look forward to welcoming you.

YESAET TRUNK SHOW w/ MIMI GIRMA
A NOTE FROM MIMI
YESAET is Style x Positive impact.
I’m Mimi Girma, founder of YESAET — pronounced 'YE-SATE' - a contemporary womenswear brand based in DUMBO, Brooklyn, built at the intersection of my Pan African artisanal heritage, sustainable practices and New York luxury craftsmanship.
YESAET stems from, and is nurtured through, my roots in Africa' where I grew up surrounded with bountiful intricate textiles, bold colors, patterns and prints. I was born in Ethiopia, raised in the Cote d'Ivoire and the UK. My origins and exposure to textile and craftsmanship in Africa ignited my passion for textile innovation and fashion design. Textiles have always fascinated and inspired me - they are the starting point for a collection.
The name YESAET is Amharic. It means a woman’s essence, a woman's work. That’s not incidental — it’s the whole philosophy.
Every piece we make is connected to women: the artisans in Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Addis Ababa who spin the yarn and weave and the cloth, the women leading the studios in New York, and construct the garments, as well as the women who ultimately wear them.
I came to the point of building YESAET after 25 years in fashion — Armani, Vivienne Tam — and what I kept returning to was a question the industry rarely asks honestly: what does it actually cost to make something beautiful, and who bears that cost? How can I keep creating and building my own business but make a positive impact ? I want to reconnect with my heritage, work with the cloths I love so much.
YESAET is my answer to those questions. We work with women-led artisan cooperatives. We produce in small batches. We botanical dye using plants and local farm donations.
We build for longevity, not trend cycles.
Out tagline is ‘Style x Positive Impact’ and the multiplication is intentional. Neither one works without the other.
I launched YESAET in February 2020- a couple weeks before the world stopped. And what that moment taught me is that slowness isn’t a liability. It’s the whole point.
We believe the past informs the present and the future hinges on the decisions we make today. We believe in timeless design, exquisite craftsmanship in textile and construction whilst reducing waste and striving for positive impact.
I fulfilled a lifelong dream in the fall of 2019 and returned to my roots in Ethiopia to not only connect with my heritage, but also embrace and learn more about the art of weaving integral to my culture, with the goal to source for YESAET.
Every day was an adventure, a sensual immersion in beauty, craft, human and cultural connection. But the culmination of my trip was completely unexpected: an invitation to visit an artisan studio and member of the World Fair trade organization, to learn how to weave.
That day, while I passed the shuttle back and forth slowly across the loom, the quick, musical rhythm of cloth woven by the artisans around me filled the space. The energy and pride of the weavers was palpable as they guided, shared, smiled, and wove.
It was an emotional, inspiring moment – a dream come true.
My lifelong love of textiles, born in my African childhood and cultivated in my career as a New York designer was brought back full circle that morning.
I often draw on the energy and inspiration that filled me that day at the weaving studio, and I’m reminded that our dreams are at our fingertips.
The beauty of African craft partnered with small local production ateliers in NY is something I am proud to showcase through YESAET.

Saturday, February 14
11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Cost: $210
Participants: 12
RSVP
You’re invited into a slow Valentine’s morning - one shaped by hands, shared food, and gentle attention - at Living Threads Bodegón, our new gathering space quietly tucked behind the studio and held by warm earth walls.
We begin with ceremonial cacao, prepared with care by Maya Love of Necuhtli Cacao, opening the senses and inviting us into presence. From there, Rachel Dixon of Green Tractor Farm will guide us in weaving wreaths from organic dried flowers she has grown and gathered, sharing her knowledge and quiet reverence for the materials along the way.
As we craft, a simple, nourishing farm-to-table meal will be prepared and shared family-style by Cora Kilgo, local cook and gluten-free baker devoted to fresh, wholesome, and organic ingredients - food meant to ground us, warm us, and make us feel alive.
This morning is an offering: time to slow, to soften, to make with our hands and be with one another. A space for conversation and silence alike. A reminder that love lives in the doing—in care, in craft, in nourishment, in gathering.
You’ll leave with wreaths to mark the season, valentines shaped by your own hands, and the quiet joy of a morning spent in community.
Come on your own or bring someone dear.
We look forward to being together.

Marcella Echavarria flows back to us again this week like the Pearl River, like earthy silk in the wind. She brings with her the mudsilk of Noir, her tribute to 2,500 years of union among elemental forces: river mud, wild silkworms and patient hands.
Marcella has created a special collection for Living Threads this year.
“The silhouettes remain simple,” Marcella explains, “- blouses, tunics, kimonos - but now they carry a new kind of texture. Patchwork upon patchwork, all in tone-on-tone, more felt than seen, like whispers layered on whispers—each panel cut by hand, each seam a decision. Quiet, generous, easy to live in.”
“I’m drawn to techniques that slow us down, quiet celebrations of ancient knowledge—where the process is not just visible, but sacred. It’s clothing that doesn’t speak loudly, but stays with you. Like a scent. Like a memory. It’s soft, but not fragile. Feminine, but not decorative. It feels like a second skin—shaped by time, water, and earth.”
If you’ve ever worn mudsilk, then you know that these words brush upon the truth of this most rare of cloths. This week we invite you to come immerse yourself in the experience.
Marcella, the Living Threads team and fabric that is memory made visible await you.

The Last Incan Bridge Trip
Once a year four Peruvian villages come together to build a bridge out of grass over the Apurimac gorge. It takes four days and connects their villages. So it has been for over a thousand years.
